De’Aaron Fox confirmed Wednesday what became public Tuesday. The Sacramento Kings guard validated reports the team was fielding calls and trade offers for the former All-Star, and indicated he wouldn’t be surprised if he were moved ahead of the Feb.

As the Sacramento Kings (24-22) prepare to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (18-27) on Wednesday, January 29, at Wells Fargo Center, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as De'Aaron Fox is not on the injury report.

“Source: De’Aaron Fox’s agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, recently sent word that it would be wise for the Kings to move him now. Even with Fox’s preferred destination — widely believed to be San Antonio — Fox’s side will remain open to all destinations.”

All-Star point guard De’Aaron Fox reportedly has a destination in mind if the Sacramento Kings trade him before the Feb. 6 deadline.

The countdown is about to move within a week of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline when it comes to the Miami Heat’s next step with Jimmy Butler. In other words, go-time. For now, the veteran forward remains on unpaid team suspension through at least that deadline,

George, 34, has had an underwhelming debut season with the 76ers, averaging 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. George is set to miss his 16th game of the season, amid his worst statistical year in about a decade.

The NBA trade deadline draws closer by the day, and as always, the transaction cycle remains headlined by the same small group of players. On Monday, the Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out of a shootaround upon receiving the news that he would be benched.

Tyrese Maxey scored 30 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers past the Sacramento Kings 117-104 for their fourth straight victory.

The Sacramento Kings have revealed their asking price for De'Aaron Fox in trade discussions as trade rumors heat up.

Embiid, who is averaging 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds, has already been ruled out against the Kings. George, who averages 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals, is day-to-day with an extensor tendon injury in his left pinkie finger.

Fox, who was an NBA All-Star and NBA Clutch Player of the Year in 2023, led the league in steals last season. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, there will be “ plenty of suitors ” for his services if he does become available on the trade market.
